CCR2 and Nephropathy: While the CCR2 subset of monocytes are cells that have undergone recent myelopoiesis and which still express 2Gr1 (Ly6C) are recruited into sites of inflammation, they are also known to participate in diverse functions like tissue healing [36] atherogenesis [66], nephropathy [67], tumor metastasis, angiogenesis [68] and fibrosis [26].
